With the inventory, this would be a good project for any student workers or work study students that you might have working in the library.  That’s what I did last year when I had to do a massive and overdue holdings check of our back periodicals collection.  The students took the existing print list that showed what we ought to have and went upstairs to verify if we did in fact have that full range of issues.  I ended up having multiple students go through the list to verify accuracy (as things can sometimes slip through the cracks).

Subject: [SERIALST] JSTOR weed and inventory

 

I have a two part problem/question. My institution recently began a JSTOR weed and due to previous decisions all of our links to JSTOR content was on print records. I have to find each individual record in OCLC and import it into Voyager and  create the holdings. Is there an easier way to do this? Has anyone else done a JSTOR weed and needed to bring in electronic records into their catalog?

 

Secondly, after we complete the JSTOR weed, our institution will begin an inventory. None of our journals are barcoded so I was wondering if anyone else has done an inventory on non-barcoded items. How easy or difficult was the process?

 

Any tips or suggestions on either the JSTOR weed or inventory would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!
